"...The tenant, Chiadiobi was living in our house, but when he packed out without our knowledge and asked that to be given two months of his rent that he left, we told him he should have notified us that he was packing out."
They told him the money was not refundable as he packed out without their knowledge. This angered the former tenant who promised to teach the couple a lesson.
Kenechukwu's wife said they had reported the matter to the police and DSS but the man kept on terrorizing them until that fateful day.
He reportedly carried out the act with 7 men
The deceased's wife said the former tenant showed up at their compound one certain day and had an altercation with her husband.
She said it was in the cause of the confrontation that 7 men macheted Kenechukwu and lit him up with fuel intended to power their generator. Her husband was consequently burnt to death.
The wife lamented that despite the crime committed, Chiadiobi still goes about his business as though nothing happened and even went as far as threatening her husband's mother.
Reacting to the development when contacted, Anambra State Police Command’s spokesperson, DSP Toochukwu Ikenganyia stated that the matter was a sketchy one and will need some more time to come up with full details on it.
